Dutch Breeze/Robocop 3 (Progressive Uplift) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by Ryrynz, 05/04/2019 This has everything going for it. Beautiful beat, beautiful synth, effects fit in perfectly… One of my all time favourites. No Emotion or energy? It's infectious! How can you not want to get your groove on listening to this? |

The Antics (ambient mix) - arranged by ColmarrReview by Ryrynz, 03/04/2019 Taking inspiration from the second quarter segment of the original SID and building up it, it crafts a powerful remix that which doesn't encompass all the original tune has to offer does a remarkable job with what it has. The most memorable part of the SID was taken, wonderfully re-created and given a nice long dark synth build up. Well done. I feel that if the lead up was shorter people would've rated this higher, but I love it. You should do a slight variation of it that includes the other parts of the tune. |

Lightforce - arranged by The St. Albans Rob Hubbard Fan ClubReview by LaLa, 02/04/2019 A powerful version, full of energy. In the first couple of minutes I find the brass sections a bit lacking in oomph, but then they make up for it later. The drums and the drones are especially well crafted. |

Comic Bakery - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 2000 really was your year wasn't it? Would be really cool to hear you make these again now. Very enjoyable to listen to and of course super nostalgic… |
|
Last Ninja (extended) - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 If this was done by anyone else I don't think it would work quite as well as it does. Rating it badly because you don't like club style mixes is bad form, one of the best remixes from 2000. |

Ocean Loader V2 - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 Capturing the feel of the original and even one upping it in a way only a handful of other remixers are capable of. Incredible job. |
|
X-Out - arranged by MRTReview by HighCSharps, 24/03/2019 The best arrangement of X-out, Albedo, Plastic Pop and many more. Mastering on a very high level. Semi-live and live performance. |

The Human Race (From Past to Present mix) - arranged by GibsReview by rnuls, 24/03/2019 Ce remix est tout simplement un de mes préférés. J'ai encore du mal avec le son de guitare mais franchement gibs, tu régales mes oreilles. MERCI |
|
Super Hang-On The Winning Run - arranged by GibsReview by rnuls, 24/03/2019 Génial, ça envoie du lourd, la batterie sonne boîte à rythme mais j'avoue que ça m'a donné envie de rejouer au jeu. Merci gibs. |

Bombo (vocal mix) - arranged by Sanjo RideReview by LaLa, 15/03/2019 The vocoder vocals are pretty cool, although a bit hard to understand, because the syllables are too distinct, too robotic, there's no flow to it. The rest of the track could've used some spicing up, but overall, it's a decent remix! |
|
Thrust (Full of Oxygene Remix) - arranged by BaRReview by wobbler, 09/03/2019 I hear early nineties New Order-chords in a mix of JMJ-beats. Can't be something wrong with that, can it? |
|
Thrust (Full of Oxygene Remix) - arranged by BaRReview by LaLa, 09/03/2019 As a big Jarre fan I am actually in awe of how you managed to stuff Thrust into the framework of Oxygene! I think the magic act starts to fall apart a bit halfway through, but then it picks up again and finishes elegantly. Really nicely done, sir, my hats off to you! |
|
Thrust (Full of Oxygene Remix) - arranged by BaRReview by Markus Gecko, 08/03/2019 Jarre Instruments do not maketh a Jarr-esque remix. Other remixes based on Jarre here on rko have much more authentic Jarre rhythm and song structure. |

Bangkok Knights (ingame) - arranged by Anders HesselbomReview by LaLa, 05/03/2019 Boy, I'm very torn about this remix. I like so much about it, but I think all that goodness is lost in the lackluster mixing.The intro: fantastic instrumentation, immediately sets a grungy, dystopic mood (actually, it reminds me of They Live for some reason). But then at 0:32 the punchiness of the bass disappears as the other instruments come in. The electric organ at 0:55 would be brilliant - but it's barely audible in the mix. The lead coming in at 1:10 is also too soft and remains so for the rest of the tune. So, again, brilliant ideas, a very good arrangement - but this just screams out for a better mix. |
|
Druid - arranged by Dr FutureReview by C64ever, 04/03/2019 Good version of the popular old tune… I'd prefer it without the voice though i must admit. |
|
Party of the Year (Bonzax) - arranged by MordiReview by gator, 25/02/2019 But somebody please tell me what this is a remix of. This website needs to have a column in the description that names the games the remix comes from because too often I am left completely without a clue. |
|
Outrun Europe (levels) - arranged by hermitsoftReview by exocytosis, 21/02/2019 Fast paced and, from a technical point of view, very well composed, Outrun Europe (levels) has a clear edge - it catches the bright pastels of the arcade version almost flawlessly! Needless to say, of all Outrun covers released up to this point, Hermisoft's take on Jeroen Tels original outruns all of them! |

International Karate - arranged by SHEN LONReview by symbols, 17/02/2019 KICK A-ASS!!(ties japanese head band around head.) Makes me want to do some backflips! Yeah! |
|
Commando Hiscore (Eighteen Years Later) - arranged by WobblerReview by Laci1971, 14/02/2019 For me, it seems that the background has no connection with the main theme. The original music is among the most beautiful ones with its cleanness, but in this version the main theme and the background are fighting with each other. |

Disgrace (Dreamers Remix) - arranged by LeaReview by LaLa, 13/02/2019 You have a beautiful voice (I'm assuming it's you singing, Lea…), so you should flaunt it: you should bring it more to the front in mixing. Especially when more instruments start playing and when you add reverb to the vocals, it becomes harder to understand the lyrics, because your voice gets lost in the mid-frequencies.Otherwise, I really like how you enhanced the vocals with various techniques throughout (layering, vocoder, chorus, etc.), the production quality is top-notch, the arrangement is outstanding, the instrumentation is spot-on. I really like the filtered intro, too, that's very modern of you. 😊 A fantastic debut on RKO, I hope to hear a lot more from you!!! |

Disgrace (Dreamers Remix) - arranged by LeaReview by spavatch, 11/02/2019 I love the way it begins and develops further in a trance-like fashion, with vocals adding to vocal trance feel 😊 |
|
Commando - arranged by SHEN LONReview by wobbler, 09/02/2019 This sounds like something I would have made myself (not to say that I would actually have managed to produce, sound wise or arrangement wise), but the overall style. Like it a lot. And as LaLa wrote earlier; perhaps a tad too much reverb, but the again who am I to complain? I might even try a remix version of my own, just to see if I could reach this standard😉 |
|
Commando (mich am Allerwertesten) Remix - arranged by Frank AbbingReview by Markus Gecko, 09/02/2019 Like the experimentation. Got a very nice minimal feel, with a tinge of EBM and dog bark synth. |
|
Cobra (Extended SID Mix) - arranged by Anthony WaltersReview by Markus Gecko, 09/02/2019 Very well crafted. I was doubtful at first, but really well done. Anyone else just done remixes with just additional sid voices? |
|
Firelord (from 8Bit Symphony) - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by Grigul, 21/01/2019 Well, I have a problem with that track. The old Remix from 2002 was epic, is still one of my absolute favourites. But - which word is higher than epic?Let me say it this way - This track here is the most epic track ever!!! I'm absolutely happy to see you back, Mr Brown. Last years you were very silent. And you, Sir, are now my first nominee for ROTY 2019. |
|
Times Of Lore (from 8Bit Symphony) - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 12/01/2019 What a wonderful journey you've taken us on with this epic piece! This sounds bona fide professional. I can't even imagine the time and effort it must've taken you to create this Times Of Lore mashup! What can I say - THANK YOU! |
|
Firelord (from 8Bit Symphony) - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 12/01/2019 I didn't think your superb symphonic remix from 16+ years ago could be made any better. I was wrong, so wrong!The flute sounds just wonderful (makes me wonder if it was written with Ben in mind…), the choir sounds even more emotional, and the dynamic flow of the arrangement makes it sound very cinematic. I really like the parts where the melody line quickly switches between the various sections of the orchestra. Even though it sounds similar to your previous Firelord arrangement, it's clearly very different - and even better. I'm sure somewhere up above Ben is listening to this, too, with a big smile on his face… |

Liljedahl is God (Green Beret+Rambo) - arranged by MordiReview by pad, 02/01/2019 That start gives me goosebumps indeed! The rest is also fab! Perfect backdrop for coding. 😃 |
|
Lightforce - arranged by Markus SchneiderReview by LaLa, 31/12/2018 Very soundtracky, a perfect homage to Rob's classic. It doesn't fall into the trap of some other remixes that are also technically excellent, but tend to get boring as the tune goes on. Instead, Markus managed to inject several careful changes into the arrangement and instrumentation that keep the momentum going while also keeping with his chosen style for the remix. Your love affair with Lightforce, Markus, really shines through! Thanks for sharing it with us! |
|
Commando (Super Joe Rmx) - arranged by UraniummindReview by LaLa, 21/12/2018 A valiant mega-effort which is brought down by a few serious issues. The arrangement is varied enough to keep my interest up throughout the remix, but some odd dissonant sections, questionable choice of instrumentation, and sorely lacking post-processing make it sound worse than it really should. |
